Ok - I'm not sure if anyone is still around on this post to answer my question, but I'll ask it anyway. I'm running Vista Business x64. I had previously installed the adminpak for Windows Server 2003 Sp2 x64 so that I would be able to do 'some' of the admin on our servers from my machine. The main tools I use are Active Directory Users & Computers, Group Policy Management, and the DHCP tool. As we all know, the DHCP tool did not work on Vista in this release, and after I installed Vista SP1, the GPMC was gone as well, but the ADU&C was still fine and dandy.

Now, I've installed the RSAT, with the new versions of the DHCP and GPMC tools, and they work great (About time! Yea!), but now all of a sudden the ADU&C snap in fails to load. I get an error message titled: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library, that says: This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

Can anyone tell me what's going on with this? I didn't think the RSAT made a change to the ADU&C snap in? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I use these tools daily. I'd rather not step back to XP, and I don't like having to remote in to one of the servers every time I need to make a change.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I wasn't on the beta for this so I can't submit bug reports, however...

The DNS console in 64bit RSAT appears to have the wrong sort set up on the IP address column. In 32bit (and in the old adminpak), sorting on IP address yielded eg. this:

10.0.0.1

10.0.0.2

10.0.0.3

10.0.0.10

10.0.0.11

10.0.0.20

etc.

Now, on RSAT 64bit, you get this:

10.0.0.1

10.0.0.10

10.0.0.11

10.0.0.2

10.0.0.20

10.0.0.3

Obviously this isn't the desired sort - how should I bug this?

Still far too many thing don't work properly. What's this about having to un-install Server 2003 admin tools as well? I'm still left using 2 PC's my Vista one can use Office (and not much else) while my XP one is where i can actually do some work. I look forward to the day where i run nothing but Server 2008 and Vista, then i might be able to jsut use 1 PC. But until then i can't use it.

Where is the tools for Windows 2000, Exchange 2003/2000, ISA pre-2006, Visual Studio pre-2008. Pathetic.

I want to know about Vista SP1 new feature.

Remotely managing your Server Core using RSAT

A little while ago I showed you how to perform some of the common management tasks on your Server Core

Wunderbar! Perfetto! Maravilloso! Prachtig!

Nick,

Does Microsoft realize that a number of features in the XP adminpak were dropped for RSAT? That makes RSAT less-capable than what was previously available 4 years ago. In addition, as other comments noted, Communication Server won't work. I'm not sure about Exchange, but SMS and ISA 2006 management tools also fail when loaded on Vista.

Rather than RSAT, what we need is someone at Microsoft to clean up all these individual tools and interfaces and give us a tool that actualyl works with Microsoft's current product line-up on Vista. Currently, Vista still breaks Microsoft management tools left and right.

AD Users and Computers is broken, you cant see the remote install tab any more, whats gone wrong (you could using adminpak.msi). Without this facility its no good for us as we use RIS/WDS extensively.

This is only to manage it from a Vista workstation correct? If I just want to use GPP and have a XP/Server 2003 environment, I still need a Vista workstation to manage my GPPs for XP... I'm assuming.

jrmac,

That's exactly what I'm referring to. A number of the toolsets won't run on Vista 64-bit at all or still throw errors even under Vista 32-bit. The same toolsets appear to work great under XP (or even Windows 2008 apparently). It's great that RSAT is out there, but it doesn't appear Microsoft has done enough to allow a typical helpdesk running Microsoft products to switch to Vista yet, unless we remote desktop into each server. That method would defeat the entire purpose of the RSAT toolset.

OCS won't work as jrmac stated above. Exchange import-mailbox won't work and generates errors as I previously noted. An ISA expert on our staff just pointed out to me that Vista won't work for him to mange his servers either, so he either runs XP or just remote desktops in. Etc.

Nick, do we have any indications of which management toolsets work 100% correctly with Vista 32 and 64-bit versions?
